With training camps set to open up next month, most of the NBA’s studs are beginning to ramp up their workouts in preparation for the 2018-19 season.

Among them, of course, is Joel Embiid.

On Saturday, a video surfaced of Embiid playing in a pickup game that featured an interesting roster of talent. Among them were the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, Cavaliers’ Jordan Clarkson, and rapper 2 Chainz.

The video was tweeted out by Drew Hanlen, an NBA skills coach and consultant who founded Pure Sweat Basketball. The open run was an excerpt from Episode 11 of Unseen Hours, a web series being produced and digitally distributed by Pure Sweat.

Check out Pure Sweat’s YouTube channel for more excerpts. There’s a lot more featuring Embiid, as well as some of the other NBA talents that Pure Sweat trains, including Markelle Fultz.
